Tjanpi, meaning 'grass' in Ngaanyatjarra, Pitjantjatjara, and Yankunytjatjara languages, forms the base of Tjanpi Weavers' sculptures and baskets. It is collected by artists across NPY lands, usually Minarri (Amphipogon sericeus), Grey-beard (Amphipogon sericeus), and Woollybutt (Eragrostis eriopoda).
Wipiya (Emu Feathers) are ethically and sustainably harvested from a farm in Queensland and cleaned and treated prior to use.
Tjanpi Desert Weavers is a social enterprise of the NPY Women's Council which supports women living in remote Central and Western desert communities to create contemporary fibre art through traditional and modern practice.
